Top Business Hotels in Toyako

Stayed here in early Aug 2023. It was a very pleasant experience, or rather the best throughout my stay in Hokkaido. Booked a club room and play area was just right outside the room, perfect for my 2.5yo boy. He loved it so much that he was asking for hotel playground even when we had moved on to other hotel. Room is huge, view is good, bed is comfy. Hotel breakfast and dinner were great, but not exceptional. It would be great to have more varieties during breakfast time.

The scenery of the hotel is really beautiful, with lake view on one side, sea view on the other, and mountain view on the other side. Walking in the snow for three hours to see the scenery made me physically and mentally happy. Children are skiing at the hotel's ski resort🎿. There are few people and there is no need to worry about safety. There are two kinds of breakfast, Western style and Japanese style. I tried both and it was very good. There is basically no place to eat for lunch and drinks, but there is a bakery on the first floor. The freshly baked bread is very good, and you can also buy a cake for afternoon tea. You need to make a reservation in advance for a restaurant for dinner. Although the price is expensive, the environment and service are very good.

We decided to spend one night in Tōya-ko on our way down to Hakodate and It was definitely worth it. Not only because of the beautiful scenery but also thanks to this hotel. It is definitely an old hotel, but in my opinion, it only added to the ,”traditional Japanese” vibe of the place. The room was very spacious for our family of 2 adults and 2 kids, and it was such a pleasant change to other new and modern yet very tiny hotels we normally stay at. Breakfast was excellent, with so many traditional dishes to choose from. And the onsen right in the hotel is another big plus. I'm not a huge fan of the onsen myself, but I absolutely loved the cave looking onsen and the one located outside. The whole hotel kind of reminded me of Ryokan. But what is hands downs the best about the place, is the view you get from your room, which is spectacular. The view of the lake Tōya and Mt Yōtei is simply breathtaking.  

I booked the room with a plan called the lake side, but it was certainly on the lake side, but it was on the lower floor (4 floor), and the building was disturbed and I could only see the view of 90 degrees. When I stayed at another inn of the same group in the same Toya Lake before, the situation was exactly the same, and the building was still in the way on the bottom floor (2nd floor), and the lake was 90 degree view. Is this hotel group only prepared such a room for a single traveler? Check-in was a system that gave keys to students on school trips, with papers and keys written on the names on the tables outside the lobby. The dinner time was decided by the inn in advance because it was to avoid congestion, but it was finished that I went to the dinner venue on time and was waiting in full seat. Moreover, I wondered if they were laying a futon during dinner, but the futon was not laid. When I finally thought I came to lay the futon, I came to two children who were part-time jobs, such as junior high school students or high school students. This is the first time I have a child lay a futon at a hot spring inn. I was disappointed. I noticed after checking out, but my body was stabbed by mites. I think it's caused by a futon. This is the first time I have been damaged by mites at the inn. I do not recommend this inn. You should consider another inn.

　The Go To campaign has been postponed and we chose this hotel as a hotel where you can spend the year-end and New Year holidays quietly near Sapporo. It's almost on the other side of the lake of Lake Toya Onsen, so I really relaxed quietly. There is only one convenience store in the area, and there are few tourists. That's why I wanted to see the first sunrise of the New Year from the room bath. This year, the cold waves have come for the first time in decades, and Sapporo was like a snowstorm. Clouds flowed in Lake Toya near the Pacific Ocean side, but I was able to see the first sunrise from the open-air bath in the large communal bath. According to the hotel word of mouth at TripAdvisor, the evaluation was divided in an open-air bath with a room. It can be seen from the outside, but first of all, it's a cold village without people, and I think it's okay to have a bathing suit. I felt a special feeling of bathing while looking at the cold moon on a cold night. It's an overseas-capital hotel, so it's great to relax and understand in advance that it's different from a Japanese hot spring hotel. I would like to spend the New Year's Eve here next year. Good point: ① The hospitality of the staff, the number of Japanese staff increased, and the moderate distance feeling was wonderful. We stayed for 2 nights, but the words that conveyed the feelings of the staff relieved me. ② The meal was Japanese for both dinners and nights. The taste of the soup stock was very delicious. The main Hokkaido beef was the same level of deliciousness as the one I received at Niseko Hilton last fall. Near Maruyama in Sapporo, it is worth a course of around 10,000 yen. Breakfast buffet is far away. ③ The large windows of the large communal bath and the lukewarm water temperature made me enjoy the scenery of Lake Toya leisurely. ④ In winter, it is close to Niseko and Rusutsu (because the slip accident is scary at Nakayama Pass in winter). Both have half board during the ski season and cannot stay at this price. Improvement points: ① To go to the public bath, it was cold to go outdoors and dressing room once. It may be due to the cold waves, but yukata is severe on a snowstorm night. ② How about the fact that many hot spring hotels in Hokkaido can also slippers? Some people may want to go in yukata, but the atmosphere of dinner is disappointing. It may not be possible at a city hotel of this class. ③ As a layout of the room, it may be unfamiliar for Japanese people to have a washbasin in front of the bed. Especially we were triple beds, so it was too small because we had skiwear and the closet was small for winter consecutive nights. Still, overall, it is a reasonable dinner hotel that you want to revisit with the hospitality of the meal, hot springs, restaurants and bars, staff.

The room was large and quiet so I was able to spend a comfortable time! The staff were very friendly and I was able to enjoy my trip to Hokkaido without any inconvenience. Is the fireworks display lifted in various places this year? However, the fireworks in Toya here are the best! You can see it from your room, and if you want to experience more powerful fireworks, you can move to the lakeside to see it! (I was satisfied with the fireworks from the room ..) There is a little distance to the city, but I personally didn't particularly care. I definitely want to come next year!
